The Sicatoka

Which year?

Be careful what you wish for, even in jest. Don't believe me? Go say "Institutional Control" three times into a locker room mirror.

Extra attacker must be late off the bench. Where's the fourth on-ice official? I think I see orange arm bands on the two by the blue line* so we're "linesman down!" *Also wrong. The "oranges" try to stay in a goal line/blue line arrangement up and down the ice.

NDSU has another issue lurking: Complacency in the fan base. https://www.jamestownsun.com/sports/football/4812038-Bison-set-FCS-winning-streak-record-advance-to-the-quarterfinals-for-10th-straight-season Yes, those were two for-sure opening playoff round games. But people didn't come out and that's revenue not realized. When will that trickle down into for-sure regular season games? And what happens if NDSU comes back down to earth with a couple 8-3 season and (gasp) home losses? I'd take the winning in a heartbeat, but is it conditioning NDSU fans in ways that aren't realistic?

And it is ... Petrino. https://www.news-leader.com/story/sports/college/msu/2020/01/15/missouri-state-football-bobby-petrino-hired-bears-football-coach/4474948002/

Seems Tara Houska had an interesting trip home from this adventure. https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020/01/14/tribal-activist-says-she-was-humiliated-at-msp-when-tsa-agent-played-with-her-braids/

Hedberg went to NDSU in 2014. His primary QBs were Wentz (junior) and Stick (freshman). But I still say Hedberg should be buying the OL coaches a lot of meals; they make his QBs look good because they're protected so well.

But the NCAA also put in the "extra skater" rule recently. How long until that's not used to get a bottom nine guy a couple shifts but instead as a place holder for "Ogie Oglethorpe" in case he's needed that night.

If that's true that is both remarkable from an endurance point of view and a testament to the on-field performance of those five because they went 16-0. PS - What have I been harping about UND for years? Fix the offensive line first.

Frisch had better be playing significant minutes. Why? As good as Kleven, Sanderson, et al, may be, there's no guarantee they'll make a smooth transition to the next level. Present D corp: 2 Seniors 3 Juniors 2 Sophs (first rounder JBD and second rounder Tychonick) 1 Freshman I'd say there's a 70-80% chance in two seasons it'll be Tycho, Frisch, and a bunch of pups. I'd say there's a 20-30% chance in two seasons Frisch will be the "old man" of the group, with a bunch of pups.

Patient: Because real ice would be too cold and then melt. Duh.

A 2010? Way too old. Recruiting today begins ...

Why is Denver's "Daniel Boone" mascot in the bottom center of that image? Answer.

From the Schmidt thread: Now fill in the following: Tom Dosch is of the _______________ years era. (Hint: He's part of a mentioned consortium.)

The original reference is to Sherlock Holmes novels. He addresses his nemesis, Moriarty, with an "always with the negative waves" line. I believe it's used in one of the Robert Downey Jr as "Holmes" movies.

2013: Mussman's last campaign (sixth season), he had two first year coordinators: OC Luke Schleussner, DC Josh Kotelnicki. 2020: Bubba (seventh season) has second year OC Danny Freund and first year DC Brett Holinka.

If it's still a base 3-4 we need a Tank Harris cloning machine.

No external opening means no application circus and the easy path for Bubba, Athletics, and UND HR. It's far easier to post and hire for positions that are less "high profile".

Holinka's bio: https://fightinghawks.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/brett-holinka/1883 He has experience as a coordinator.

OU fans shudder when they see that 4/13 game you have.
